However, despite claiming to be worth $700 million when it went public on July 20, 2022, by way of a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), FaZe is now in penny stock territory, trading as low as $0.97 per share on February 6.

But, what happened? Factors such as controversy surrounding some members and a possible burst in the esports bubble may be contributing to the lack of investment in the company.
